Richmond BC, Canada – July 13, 2015: Unidentified people in the new McArthurGlen Designer Outlet near the Vancouver Airport on July 13, 2015. McArthurGlen Designer Outlet was designed as a luxury shopping destination and offers 376,000 square feet of retail space.

Vancouver’s McArthur Glen Designer Shopping Centre are supporting Pride Run & Walk this year by donating a $100 gift card, to be used as a door prize at the upcoming Pride Run on July 24th.

In addition to awarding the fastest people in their gender categories, and the best dressed awards, we want to ensure that everyone will have a chance at taking home a fabulous prize. We feel this makes our event a little different to others, as everyone has a chance at winning something.

Thanks to the kind folks at McArthur Glen. We appreciate your generosity so much!!

We cannot believe the generosity that comes in from our sponsors, especially with our
latest to sign on, India Bistro.

The kind folks at India Bistro on Davie Street are supporting Pride Run with more gift cards than we count! The larger demoninations will be used as awards and door prizes, while the many others will be handed out at package pickup, which is on Thursday July 21st at the Running Room on Denman Street.

THANK YOU India Bistro, you guys are AWESOME and so happy to have you continue to support Frontrunners and Pride year over year!

Vancouver Frontrunners and Pride Run & Walk are thrilled to have WhiteSpot join us in sponsoring this year’s Pride Run & Walk event.
WhiteSpot have been generous and have donated 4 x $20 gift vouchers which will be used as door prizes and giveaways at this year’s event and we couldn’t be happier.

Vancouver Frontrunners meet every Saturday morning in Stanley Park, and following this we meet at the WhiteSpot on Georgia Street for some post run/walk nutrition. We’re always greeted with fantastic servers, quick to take our orders as we settle down and mingle amongst ourselves.
VFR have been visiting this location for some years now and find it to be the perfect location for brunch following a workout in the park.

Thank you kindly to all the staff and management. We truly appreciate it.

The Vancouver Front Runners are thrilled to have Roundhouse Radio’s Barb Snelgrove returning as MC of this year’s Pride Run & Walk!

That’s right, Pride Run & Walk 2016 is taking place on Sunday July 24th and this year we have a new location. The event is now going to take place at Sunset Beach, right by the Aquatic Centre.
This new location makes it much more accessible to all of our participants and we have a new 5km walk/run course that heads east along the seawall.

Huge congratulations to all of our members who participated in the Vancouver Sun Run on April 17th. It was a gorgeous day for a 10km run and a site worth seeing with over 50,000 participants at Canada’s largest start line.

I am beyond thrilled to see that Vancouver Frontrunners has been listed as one of the Top 13 running clubs in Vancouver by Vancity Buzz. We are the largest LGBT+ running club in Vancouver and welcome new guests to try us out for free.

We pride ourselves on providing a welcoming space for people of all genders, sexual orientation and abilities. We host an annual Pride Run & Walk event that garners over 500+ registrants. We’re also more than just a running club; we’re a very social club with dinners, brunches and monthly social events. What are you waiting for, come try us out!!!

VFR Members were treeated to a wonderful evening hosted by Gerry on April 9th and the evening was absolutely fabulous. We got to enjoy a lovely spread of food, great company, breathtaking views and plenty of wine.
